British Conference of Undergraduate Research (BCUR)

This project will support a national, interdisciplinary platform designed to nurture the next generation of British researchers.

The British Conference of Undergraduate Research (BCUR) was launched in 2010 with the aim of encouraging undergraduates to carry out research, by giving them the opportunity to present their findings at an annual conference. These funds will help to ensure it involves all British universities and increases the opportunities for students.

BCUR gives students from all UK universities and all disciplines the opportunity to present their research either as a poster or a presentation to an audience of academics and undergraduate students. These research projects are normally the products of summer internships or final-year dissertations.

This aims to enhance students’ learning and encourages them to progress into postgraduate study.
